No Strings Attached

We both knew the rules…

Until we didn’t.

We said we’d keep it simple,

Just another Friday night,

No forever in the conversation,

No promises to rewrite,

Two hearts playing it cool,

Like we’d mastered every move,

Never thought that something so easy

Could become impossible to lose.

One more smile…

One more song…

Funny how forever…

Can happen all at once.

We said no strings attached,

But somehow they found us,

One little spark,

Turned into fireworks,

We said no strings attached,

Now you’re stitched into my heartbeat,

Funny how the rules we made

Were the first things we couldn’t keep.

No strings…

No strings…

That’s what we said…

Look at us instead…

Morning coffee, sleepy eyes,

Laughing underneath the sunrise,

Every little moment grows,

Into something neither of us chose,

Now your jacket’s by my door,

Like it’s always been here before,

Every plan we tried to hide

Found a way to come alive.

Maybe we were never…

As detached…

As we pretended…

We said no strings attached,

But somehow they found us,

One little spark,

Turned into fireworks,

We said no strings attached,

Now you’re stitched into my heartbeat,

Funny how the rules we made

Were the first things we couldn’t keep.

Maybe love doesn’t ask permission…

Maybe it just walks in…

Laughs at every rule…

And rearranges everything.

We said no strings attached,

Now I wouldn’t cut them loose,

Every late-night conversation

Led me back to you,

We said no strings attached,

Guess forever had other plans,

If this is how the story ends…

I’m glad it began.

No strings attached…

That’s what we thought.
